I paint to meditate, by creating art that is born from joyful memories or dreams, and to elicit the same joy for anyone who views my art.

I truly enjoy creating large scale, vivid oil paintings full of texture and movement. I find myself lost in the work for hours. That’s my happy place.
What would you do with $25,000?I used to paint in my late teens. It took me over 25 years to pick up a brush and start painting again! If I win, that would be incredible! I would invest in my dream of taking steps to paint a lot more, invest in showing and selling my art sell my art - become professional artist I’ve always dreamed of. I am self-taught and have so many more ideas I’d love to produce. In addition, I would love to help inspire and help others in whatever way I can to do the same.
